Glasgow Friends Against Homelessness – can you join us?

Posted on 7 October 2015

As part of our Quaker testimonies the GFAH group have been part of a rota of volunteers operating a Tea run on Sunday evenings in the city centre for 13 years. Our two teams provide hot and cold drinks, biscuits and fruit in Cadogan Street to around 40 people every seven weeks.

Each team has 3 people who are able to commit a minimum of 2 hours from 8pm to 10pm every 7 weeks, plus a person to do the shopping and an extra person who can step in when a regular person is unavailable.

We need another person to join one of our teams on a regular basis. You need to be a car driver, okay to stand for an hour in the street throughout the year and able to help lift a box of flasks.

Advices & Queries

5. Take time to learn about other people’s experiences of the Light. Remember the importance of the Bible, the writings of Friends and all writings which reveal the ways of God. As you learn from others, can you in turn give freely from what you have gained? While respecting the experiences and opinions of others, do not be afraid to say what you have found and what you value. Appreciate that doubt and questioning can also lead to spiritual growth and to a greater awareness of the Light that is in us all.

"Be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come, that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them; then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every one." - George Fox
